Thanks Chris and Volker. Chris, I looked up your version of IC1995 and it looks
like you had managed to pick it up really well with three 40 min exposures. Very
nice shot. Was your location very dark? I had to use a blue filter for 1.5 hours
at f/1.5. At this point I was in the neighborhood of the sky fog limit. After
which I could just discern it on the negative.
